Despite her unsuccessful title bid in the UFC, Claudia Gadelha did have her shining moments in the Octagon. One of her Fight of the Night performances came against former strawweight champion Joanna Jedrzejczyk, whom she fought twice and lost to on both occasions.
Now retired, the 33-year-old Gadelha – who also works for the UFC as an athlete development director – still wants a third bout with Jedrzejczyk. But this time around, she wants it in her world.
“I’d really have liked to do a third fight with Joanna. A lot. A lot,” Gadelha said in a recent interview with MMA Fighting’s Trocação Franca podcast.
